Quiet is the New Loud SaturDAILIES!

Anyone and everyone can post your runs, cross-training, abdominal work, rest days, race plans, training questions, etc. The only stupid question is the one you did not post. There’s a great mix of beginners and veterans, runners and walkers, and maniacs and returners (from injury, to running, to RWOL). We're all a little crazy here too! While this thread is a terrific source of motivation for runners and serves as outstanding accountability, you’ll quickly find this remarkable group to be highly supportive of all life experiences. So, come on in, put your feet up and stay awhile (not literally)! And whoever is up first is welcome to start the thread and we definitely keep some weird hours around here.

Good morning runners!Friday: USRD. Quiet, cool morning here - perfect for a run [wish I could]. Foot is about the same, so no running for another day. Have a couple of home projects after tennis and F1, then spend the afternoon with my oldest. Safe travels run inspired!

It certainly is quiet here. Back when our boys were little, if it was this quiet at this time of day it usually meant they were up to something. Now it just means everyone else is sleeping in.

We were slow getting out yesterday, but eventually we got to the lake. After the picnic DW and DIL got to read, which is what they wanted to do, and DS#2, GD and I went sailing on his catamaran. Good wind, cool temps, and water that was surprisingly warm. God thing the water was warm, because it was pretty choppy, and there was no way we were gong to stay dry. And, of course, the firearks at teh end of the day. Had grand time.

59* this morning. No, that's not a typo. It's July and it's 59*! Perfect running weather. Shame about your foot, Moth. Maybe the cool will stick around a few more days, Hope it is better soon.

6 something this morning. Garmin is transferring data and I forgot to look at it before transfer started, and since I haven't done a transfer in a couple of weeks, it's going to take a while.

I'm feeling very tired. The "festivities" went on in our neighborhood until 1a.m. SRD today and I'll do my long run tomorrow. I'm on call today and have 3 patients to go see already. Guess I had better get moving.

I went out with intention of an "easy 3 miles" but I'm realizing nothing is easy for me! Maybe I shouldn't be on the beginner board. Ended up only doing 2.1 but it's my birthday so I'm proud I even made it out tHe door!

Will it ever be easy???

Getting out the door can be the hardest part. Maybe running it slower, even if it's slower than your "normal" slow is what you needed today. Anyway, good job getting out the door and Happy Birthday!!!!

I ate so bad yesterday and never thought I would be able to get out of bed this morning. Luckily I did, the weather was beautiful and the trails were so quiet and peaceful. I wanted to get an idea on my 5k pace, so I tried and tempo/time trial 5k. Finished about 24 min even. Felt good, t

After yesterday's 10K, the only objective for running for the rest of the weekend is recovery. I went over to the cross-country trails where local high school teams hold their meets in the fall for 3.5 miles, running as slowly as I could without resorting to dragging my feet along the grass.

Jenny -- Happy birthday! Of course you belong on the beginners forum. After all, we have people just starting out and people who have run for 40 years on here. We;re all beginners. To answer your question, yes, as your fitness and confidence builds it gets easier. It's usually a factor of time spent running and weekly mileage. However, some days it's hard to run at any pace. Those days just happen. The key is to just keep getting out there.

Middle: Sounds like a great recovery run.

6.26 miles. Ran very easy as compared to yesterday's efforts. I've run from home over the hills along one of my old normal routes twice this week and have some seriously sore muscles.

Happy Independence Day weekend! I haven't been around here the last few days as we had visitors from Columbus, OH. My in-laws and nieces stayed at our house for 3 days. Thursday night, my father-in-law and me polished off 19 beers! No I am not an alcoholic. I drink once every couple months for social events. Friday was a SRD.

Today I ran in the middle of the day. 77F and full sun. 7.02 miles @ 8:04 pace. With the exception of a few patches of shade, there was nowhere to hide from the sun. I must be a masochist as the last 2 miles were very hilly.

One more World Cup game to go today! Have a great night all! God bless!

Happy birthday, Jenny. It get's easier, and more fun, and eventually you will miss it on days you don't/can't run...

I slept in after not getting home until 1 a.m., so ended up doing my LSR in the MFH (Mutha 'effin heat). Was brutally sunny and 85 by the time I was doing my last couple of miles. So it was a sweat-fest, but I got 'er done -- 11 miles at 9:53 pace.

Now working the rest of the day in the den. Gotta pay for those running shoes, ya know...

Happy birthday, Jenny! And yes running gets easier...at least on most days it's easy, well at least 50% of the time it is. Or maybe it's more 60/40 hard to easy...just kidding. You will get to where you love running and to where you love to hate it but do it anyway!
